How It Works
Create Your Post
Write your main post content as usual. Upload media and configure your post settings for the target platforms.
Add First Comment
In the post creation form, add your first comment text. Platform-specific fields appear based on your selected platforms.
Auto-Post Comment
When your post publishes, we automatically add the first comment immediately after. For YouTube, we can pin it too.
Why Use First Comments
Keep Captions Clean
Move hashtags, links, or lengthy CTAs to the first comment. Your main caption stays clean and focused on your message.
Add Clickable Links
Many platforms allow links in comments but not captions. Use first comments to share links without breaking platform rules.
Provide Extra Context
Add timestamps, resources, sources, or additional information without overwhelming your main post content.
Fully Automated
No manual work required. Schedule your post and first comment together, and we handle the rest automatically.
